- riffraff 1y agoAfrica's fertility rate is dropping fast: 40 years it was above 6, 20 years ago it was above 5, and it dropped by 0.6 in the last ten years. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/afr/africa/fertility-rate https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/afr/afr... most projections expect Africa's population to peak around 2070, which is less than the timeframe GP considered.
